Posted by SLRT on Mon Jul 16 15:43:58 2012, in response to Re: You've Come a Long Way Baby -- NY Times Position on Marriage for Women Shifting, posted by bingbong on Mon Jul 16 15:29:45 2012. Did you read the article, bingbong?Your thinking is stuck back in the articles of the '70s and '80s (and people I knew from then) when the biggest problem some people saw with out-of-wedlock births was overcoming the guilt they felt was being imposed on them by parents, society and your beloved boogieman, the RW. The article, in The Times doesn't mention anybody's politics or social pressures, it presents the lives of two women who made different choices, and the single woman acknowledges this: "Ms. Schairer has trouble explaining, even to herself, why she stayed so long with a man who she said earned little, berated her often and did no parenting. [...] She was 25 when the breakup made it official: she was raising three children on her own." But the only thing you and your political fellow travelers can understand is that it can only be the result of poor access to services and the RW. |
